MLT Ground Vertical Launch Module
The launcher module is mounted on a truck to achieve the required
mobility. It contains 8 ASTER 30 ready to-fire missiles.
To fulfil its mission, it ensures the following functions:
- transportation of the munitions in horizontal position,
- measurement of movement during transportation by means
of an IRU (Inertial Reference Unit),
- levelling of the launch platform,
- erection of the launch ramp to vertical position,
- measurement of the attitude of the launch ramp,
- monitoring the state of the launcher and of each ammunition
to control the operational state and log operating conditions,
- linking with Engagement Module (E.M.),
- preparation of ammunitions and control of launch sequence.
The SAMP/T concept provides a high rate of fire: a salvo of two
missiles can be fired in less than one second, and all eight missiles
(from the same launcher) in about 10 seconds.
The large number of ready-to-fire missiles (up to 48 missiles
depending of the configuration - up to 6 launchers with 8 missiles
per launcher) and the rapid reload capability support this high
rate of fire.
All operations, except the initial deployment, are remotely performed
and controlled from the engagement module (E.M.)
